I was recently in the market for a laptop bag on amazon when
I came across the “Case Logic VNA-216 16-inch inch laptop Attaché”, let me just
say in terms of build quality this is one of the best laptop bags out there in
the higher echelons of quality, with an affordable price tag and trust me I have
been around the block as my friends are all professionals and sport there
laptops in bags of all makes and models, which tend to fall apart sooner than
later.

I first bought the 10 inch version, which I am still
sporting today and it’s as solid as when I bought it after a full year of abuse
and pressure. Trust me “I go all out and leave this thing lying all around the
apartment and over the place”. With that in mind I ordered the 16 inch version
with much confidence for my laptop, as it had worked so wonderfully for my
tablet. Now on to the review:
 |
| Amazon Package-Yay!!!!!! |
This laptop, net-book or tablet carrying case comes in the
following sizes:
10 inch
10.2 inch
14.1 inch
16 inch
And 17 inch
Choose your size on retailers such as Amazon and eBay based
on the size of your device, which may be a laptop or tablet etc. This review is
based solely on the 16 inch version which was bought recently and reference
made to the 10 inch version which was bought for my tablet approximately a year
ago.
The 10 inch was an exact fit for my 10 inch tablet which was
an Acer iconia a500 even with a thick leather case on. The 16 inch version
works just the same for an equivalent laptop size. Smaller laptops do not fit
as snug and reduces the protection so aim for an exact fit that matches your
device size.

Colors Galore
The pallet of colors include: Tannin, Brown and Black
The model bought was black-I recommend black as it looks
sleek and most importantly it does not show up dirt and grime as easily.
Design
The case
logic VNA-216 is very minimalistic and saves on space as it is less bulky than
most laptop bags which being just the right bit of sleek and thickness to
protect your beloved electronics that it may house. It features smooth tapered
edges and intuitive design in the placement of all the pouches and holding
areas.
Carrying Strap
What can I say it holds the bag firmly and is
durable and this is no easy feat as I have had bags whose life had been cut
short by a flimsy build quality where it counts the most, the strap.
This case is well build as the 10 inch
version which I have owned for a year shows very little sign is wear or tear
and could take on a few more years with ease. My only complaint however is the
metal clasps that hold the straps in place as they tend to rust after a while,
this is barely noticeable and they still retain their strength after all this
time and pressure and shows no signs of weakness.
This bag sports three pockets:
1. The main pocket which houses the device,
which is well padded and insulated for protection and
2. A sub pocket that can hold various
trinkets such a cellular phones, flash drives and pens just to name a few.
3. The last pocket is an easy access pocket
and by far the smallest, but not the least as I often tuck important items on
the fly here as it features a quick lock zipper.
Conclusion
This is by
far one of the best bags I have had the pleasure of owning and is a clear
winner and a logical choice. I have chosen and bought dozens of bags for my
friend and as such it places me in a unique position to objectively identify a
solid bag when I see one. This is the bag to own, you should go to amazon and
buy one if you are in the market for a bag. This bag gets my full seal of approval
as a reliable laptop or tablet carrying case.
